Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 - Which year is better? 

Great comparison and it makes sense. I bought my first Aprilia in 2016; a 2012 V4 1000 APRC.. I loved the linear torque and power delivery from the moment you pull away till maxed out at the top end. Three months later (January 2017) I popped in to the same dealership and there stood my next V4; an RSV4 Factory 2011 model. The RSV4 Factory APRC made plenty power above 10,000 rpm; and only took a few seconds more with the throttel wide open to get to 300kmph. To be honest; it was actually very boring and most uncomfortable when commuting in traffic. My 2012 Tuono was so much more fun; whether commuting or on the open road. In fact; it was even more fun on the track than the RSV4. June 2017 came along; and after as test ride on a demo 2016 Touno 1100 RR I traded both my bikes in on a new 2016 1100 RR they still had in stock. To put it mildly; this one is almost brutal while still very confidence inspiring and everything under control. A month later my brother sold his R1 and managed to get hold of the very last 2016 1100 RR they had in stock. SC Project Titanium slip on; OEM Forged rims; OEM Race ECU and OEM tail end fitted (4 year project & many $$$ later) I've become an "addict" (hooligan)! I will never trade up on a newer model; since in my humble opinion they have taken most of the fun out of the post 2018 models (too many rider aids; BMW style).... Previous Two Strokes: (Honda; Suzuki; Kawasaki; Yamaha 50cc; 50cc; 80cc; 350cc; 250cc Husky & 495cc KTM. In 10 odd years' time when I'm too old to ride my 2016 Tuono; I'll probably get myself a VesPa EV and tour the countryside in style...

Ed disconnect your flapper valve added healtech ESE dongle so no fault codes, will give that carpark noise, I have the same Tarmac Grey '21 , I changed the rear sprocket to 44 tooth wich is +4 RR or +2 Factory, lowering link & tinted powerbronze screen.
